solved - flaky USB port

I tried a different cable too. No luck. :( I tried my wife's phone using my existing setup, and her phone worked just fine. :rolleyes: So, I have definitively narrowed the problem down to my phone, IMHO.

I tried RC4.1 last night, and it had the same problem. I did several factory resets, cache wipes, and davlik cache wipes, etc., but nothing helped. After I gave up, went back to RC4.2, and started using a microSD card as a shuttle (i.e., pull out microSD from phone, put microSD in computer, move everything to microSD, put microSD back in phone, and copy from microSD to internal storage), the USB started working again. It's acted kind of flaky at first, occasionally dropping the connection, so I am starting to think that the USB port on my Cappy is dying or loose. I tried cleaning it with a poor man's air compressor (i.e., I blew in it), and that seemed to help some. :D

Thankfully, I can upgrade to a new phone with AT&T in April. Should I get the Samsung Note or hold out for the SGS3? Any thoughts before we get back on topic? :)

Thanks for all the good ideas for debugging!

I know this is stated in 1st page, but just want to make sure if anyone found a solution for the lockscreen occasionally being unresponsive?

To be clear, in my case, sometimes I can't move the "lock" icon to unlock the screen (the screen is not responsive at all!). I have to press the power button several times until the screen responses again. Note that this happens more often after a while (of using this ROM).

Glitch kernel fixed that issue or me.
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
Hey does somebody know if this could be added on the next release?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1493225

And about the previous post, Glitch corrected that issue for me too!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Just flash it after the rom. I would tell you how to extract, move and compress but I don't quite think you're at that point yet;)
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
haha that is cruel! :P
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
Ok but has anyone test it yet? Y really don't want to screw my modem but i guess if anything goes wrong i can re flash the rom or the stock modem of the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Sure can. I tried one of them and it sucked. San Diego, CA
[Captivate Android Development] cppc:
Thanks. Been busy for a while and did not notice the change in Glitch kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] DemonWav:
I guess it's possible we could change the modem in the rom. We are focused on much larger issues, quite difficult issues to fix at that. But its like we can almost taste it being finished, but in this line of work we could still be miles away. Hopefully that's not the case! :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Or maybe we can start work on an Aroma type installer that the user can select their modem during the flashing process. That is automation at its' finest!
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Didn't know that existed =O Interesting......
[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
Why would anyone care which modem is included in a ROM? Modems work better or worse depending on your location. So, no one modem will fit all.

There is a thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1227717) with a link to a map in which people post their locations and the modems that worked better for them. It is a good starting point, but I suggest some practical experimentation with a few modems to find out the one that works better at your location in terms of call quality, download/upload speeds, battery life, signal strength, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
True but that Aroma type installer seems like a good idea. Pick your modem, kernel, tweaks that you want on or not. But I have to agree asking for 1 specific modem doesn't make sense. What ever came doesn't work for you? well pick one from the huge list and move on.

On the Power Control Widget, I thought the button with the two arrows in a circle was to toggle screen rotation on/off, but it toggles ActiveSync on/off. Was this meant to be this way? It was kind of funny because I hate screen rotation so I keep it turned off...then I thought ActiveSync was turning itself off. Then later I would find that "screen rotation" was on again and I'd turn it off...after a couple of hours with no mail, I'd check ActiveSync and turn it on...then I finally had a day off work and realized what was happening. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
Yahh it is now in WEUI and is pretty cool :D
[Captivate Android Development] Gordonson:
Naw man, the rotating circle has always been for ActiveSync lol.

Drivers?

I have been using the Captivate for over one year, first with Froyo (stock) and then with Gingerbread (Serendipity VII ROM). Never had any problems with the drivers.

Now that I installed this ROM with ICS, I can still get into USB storage mode to transfer files, but adb stopped working.

I went to Samsung's website, downloaded the most current version of the i897, but still the same results.

What am I doing wrong?

Before anyone asks: I already rebooted the PC, changed USB cables and ports. Still works fine with phones with Froyo and GB, but not with ICS.
[Captivate Android Development] troyy0206:
prior to this I was running Cognition which was the stock GB w/o the boat ware. When you pulled down the notification bar and this button toggled screen rotation. I thought it was the same button. Made for a few mind-boggling days until I had a few minutes to think about it and realized I was doing it to myself. lol

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

BTW, I flashed this ROM a few days ago and was just having performance issues, having to reboot sometimes, etc, but was still as good or better than stock GB. Last night I flashed the Glitch kernel and OC'd to just 1100MHz and my phone has NEVER been this good. In fact, I have never had ANY phone that ran this good. Amazing work. Made my donation to Glitch and gonna make one to the ROM devs now.

Thanks for the amazing work!!!!!!!

Don't we need nexus s drivers?

[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I've never downloaded nexus per say. I use the ones included in SDK. Should be the same ones.
[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
I have the SDK installed and have been using adb and other tools without any problems with GB ROMs. Just when I installed this ROM (and also with Dark Knight ROM) adb no longer works - it says device not found - although I can get into USB mode to transfer files. Device Manager shows SGH-I897 marked in yellow under Other Devices, what makes me believe there is some problem with the drivers.
[Captivate Android Development] Knight613:
Tried it by changing pretty much everything that said GT-I9000 to SGH-I897 but it doesn't seem to have worked. Oh well. I can always just install it through other means instead of the market.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
any ideas on how to get back the function of my power and volume buttons- right now I have to pull the battery in order to reboot and I cannot get it out of sleep mode when screen goes out, also cannot root although super user app is there and my files folder is MIA
[Captivate Android Development] popfan:
I am betting that you are going to either wipe data again with dalvak cache or you are going to have to do a master clear to get rid of the junk left behind in your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
tried clearing cache, factory reset guess master clear is next, forgot to mention it will not connect to my pc either, I forgot to clear out pickachus scripts I had on the phone - that's probably what the issue is trying flashing a full wipe rom first to see if that helps if not odin back to stock then reflash oddly except for those issues rom is pretty good(although issues are my fault)

Edit: had to go back to stock will be reflashing ICS shortly
[Captivate Android Development] goatomatic:
Thanks for that, I didn't think of clearing the downloads cache. I reflashed and haven't had that issue yet, but hopefully that will work if I run into it again.
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
I had this issue when I was on one of the Alphas, but the apps were absolutely compatible with I9000 (nearly all apps should be compatible with both phones, as they are practically identical.).

I'm pretty sure it was an Android OS version compatibility problem, instead of a phone model issue. Not sure if that's what's going on with you or not, but it has definitely affected me in the past (on other roms too..)
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
There is no "Files Folder", you have to use something like Root Explorer. As for root, you need to flash this version of SuperUser:

Hope this helps. :)
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
tried reflashing to stock with odin and re-installed ICS and same result , lose use of power, volume buttons and my files folder is gone and pc will not recognize it - something is staying on phone , how do I do the master clear(was going to use odin but it's not recognized) when I plug the phone into my pc it only gives me option to view media files then I get error unfortunately process android. process.media has stopped

my pc will will say installing drivers then failed to install drivers

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

tried that version SU still no root so TIBU will not work

so you say there is no my files folder so how would I access stuff on internal sd card as I did on GB such as downloads? trying to see if somehow my download of the rom became corrupted so downloading again but not sure how to get it on phone( so far download from phone failed twice)
[Captivate Android Development] VanThePimpMan:
I couldnt find any type of way to view your stuff on the internal or external, I tried to find a way to get to them, but there was no way I could on stock.
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
Just use any file manager program like Root Explorer or Astro. And your external SD Card is accessed through the root in the folder EMMC. Something different with ICS I think.

how do i wipe cache/data ect after flashing beta 1 when i cant get into recovery mode after flashing beta 1? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
Have you tried holding your volume buttons and power button at the same time until it reboots, still holding wait for it to boot for a second time and then release them, should get you to CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
any idea how to connect to my pc so I can transfer another ics zip file onto the phone?
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
reboot into recovery, and go to the bottom in "Mounts and Storage"
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
All I did was connect with USB, wait for windows to auto install drivers, then it would bring up the window asking what you wanted to do [i.e. open with win explorer, etc.].

If yours does not do this, you may have to get latest drivers from Samsungs website.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
will do, frustrating paying for a stupid mistake I know I should have deleted all the crap first would you know how to do a master clear on this ROM? using mount and storage didn't work
[Captivate Android Development] xxProphecyxx:
I think that there is a format internal SD option in CWM if that is what you are looking for.

[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
From Within Odin1 click, boot the phone, make sure you enable debugging, open odin, connect to the PC
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
the ICS ROM flashed just didn't seem to flash completely so it works but not fully- I don't get the fish boot screen my power,and volume buttons will only work to get into recovery after a battery pull and my pc will not recognize the phone,guess need updated drivers assuming they should be nexus drivers because device is recognized as an i9000 although its a captivate.

If I was in this position I would:

Flash back to Stock and Master Clear, then start all over. It sounds like something is corrupt....badly

[Captivate Android Development] Watevah:
Hey! I have a problem. When I first upgraded from Gingerbread to RC4.2 with Icy glitch v14b4 everything was nice and smooth. Then after a few days something caused a significant writing speed drop to sdcard via usb. Previously it was like 6-8MB/s to my internal SD and ~17MB/s to an external class 10 card. Now it's like ~1MB/s and ~2MB/s. I've tried long formatting both cards under windows to FAT32 that wasn't much help. External SD writing speed through microSD to SD adapter is fine.

Any help/suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

[Captivate Android Development] hyperpowerr:

It seems that they don't support ICSSGS even though it was just working fine for me at some point. I'm sure the problem is somewhere else.

ps. I've tried B6 as well to no avail
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
My post wasn't meant for you. I believe the slow usb speeds are a issue with Glitch. I've had it on slim, AOKP and ICSSGS. Haven't tried cm9.
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
You sure you're using the right drivers?. ICS needs the Google usb drivers not the Galaxy/Kies drivers. Use the android_winusb.inf in the google-usb_driver folder of the sdk for the correct install.

Downloading the usb-driver from the sdk does not mean they are installed.
[Captivate Android Development] Watevah:
Sorry for that, just thought of it as a suggestion for me to update glitch to the latest, since it was directly under my post :)

If someone can verify,

Seems that there's two call volume functions? If that makes sense.

When viewing the call log and changing volume seems to have no effect but shows the animations, after I make the adjustment and hit the home key and try to adjust again right away the animation doe n't change but it does change the volume.

Also when looking at the most dialed contacts I can't call from that list, just reports the contacts as non exist ant.
[Captivate Android Development] stew1411:
Verified. Its not just the call log, its in the entire phone app. I have my phone on vibrate and when changing call volume, had the vibe icon next to signal yet kept showing the volume slider upon button press. Volume works anywhere outside of the phone app.

[Captivate Android Development] XBrav:
It seems that the call volume in the app might be linking to the media volume instead, though I'm unsure.

In a related note, does anyone else have an issue with audio normalization in phone calls? I find that the volume drops a few notches during the call initialization.

I want to try a new modem since the stock one isn't giving me a good signal on my area, before anyone points me to the soggycashew website i'll tell you that i am getting modems from that website but so far i'm only getting EDGE signal and no 3G. So my questions is what modem are you guys using (prefer AT&T users since bands here are similar to the ones that carrier uses 850-1900)

Or could it be theres some kind of incompatibility with the ROM that prevents me from getting 3G signal? (before anyone suggests this, i don't have the 2G option selected on the phone settings)

I recently had experienced this. I don't think this is an issue but a feature provided in ICS. If you want to get rid off warning message, disable the mobile limit or increase the limit.

Was i suppose to wipe something or just flash from recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
No problem here. I'd try reflashing. If you're still having problems, try wiping the phone clean (master clear clean) and then flashing it. It may also be kernel related. Are you using platypus?

Horrible signal can just be your area. 3G H thing doesn't really matter. While using data you get SUPA, if no data no real point on having SUPA.

We'll I'd poke around in the glitch forum for a few. I've used platypus , glitch v14b3, and glitch v14b5 with no issues since the early betas of this ROM. If no one has any other suggesting you can try what I like to do every few flashes: go to stock eclair w/o bootloaders, clear and format everything on the internal card, flash cwm, and then flash the ROM. Maybe there's something lingering from a previous build that's causing the issue. Let me know what you end up doing.
[Captivate Android Development] Grey Ghost:
Banged at my build.prop ro.build.fingerprint entry with a Stic...text editor and all is well, changed it to one of the "official" Google phones, interestingly enough even though the print itself is set for a Gingerbread handset it still allows me to for example pull Chrome from the market which is listed as ICS only in the description, a nice little quirk I think.
[Captivate Android Development] space_eyes:
Pretty sure you guys that are having signal problems need to clear your cache before you flash another modem...

You mean signal problems or no 3G and only EDGE problem?
